These ones specifically were very wet from being rained on which never helps. It's the airflow that was lacking. You literally just made a fly agaric gratin - all you forgot was the cheese! I would suggest to string up the mushroom pieces on a length of stout thread and let them air-dry for a while before transferring to a cool oven. Cooking mushrooms always generates a lot of juice as you will have noticed in your casserole dish. A pre-dry helps to minimise this. Stainless steel mesh comes in very useful when drying mushrooms in general. Air flow, air flow, air flow! “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Thanks for the tip downwardsfromzero!!!! From our errands outing this morning, a tiny amanita which had broken through some mulch in a different spot.

Fall is nearing it's conclusion. It has been a great season for amanita muscaria. Tony6Strings attached the following image(s): IMG_20211105_173826.jpg (4,456kb) downloaded 35 time(s).

Yeah airflow and airspace is your friend when drying these. You don't know the definition of foul until you come home to the stench of liquesced amanita. Learned so how not to do it with these things, from maggots crawling all over my kitchen to the smell of black death in my dresser drawer... Have you tried smoking the dried caps Tony? I find that to be a good way to help my body relax, and if I am doing a cannabis fast, it helps get me through the potentially sleepless nights associated with cold-turkeying weed. I am curious to see if they can help with titrating opiatates and -oids like methadone. Sine experientia nihil sufficienter sciri potest -Roger Bacon

Null, funny you should mention. No I haven't smoked these but have heard anecdotes. I was thinking of enhancing some dried caps with acacia extract. olympus mon wrote:You need to hit it with intention to get where you want to be!
